Athlete Profile: Ryan Callahan

The current Captain of the New York Rangers, Ryan Callahan, has developed into a key role player for the United States hockey team. The United States hockey team has been able to garner success through strong special teams play and Ryan Callahan has been one of the best penalty killers for the US squad. While Ryan Callahan has not been the most efficient offensive player, his energy, shot blocking and defensive penalty killing has been a spark for the American team and will be a necessary aspect of their game against the Canadians and possibly in the gold medal game.
